Squid’s have mantles, which is an extra layer of flexible skin that protects their organs. This inspired me to add a second layer of exterior, movable skin to my airstream to help expand the living space.

I built my massing models by layering many pieces of binding board, cutting out the center on the ban saw so that the interior is hollow, and sanding the models down to the right shape.

Based off of a skunks fur, the joey in its mothers pouch, and a kangaroo’s chambered stomach, Skunk spray ( spray the outside of the greenhouse to cool it down)

Model 2:

Another version of number one, but without the bathroom popping out and totally becoming a new part

Model 3:

The greenhouse will pop out the side and expand and pop off to create a new structure.

Joey in the kangaroo, Skunk fur changing with weather( more moisture the side pops off), Pheromones – leave behind the collected water, Skunk spray ( spray the outside of the greenhouse to cool it down)

Model 4:

The greenhouse will be inside the airstream and the side of the airstream will pop up to let the greenhouse come out when people are in the airstream.

Model 5:

A form of the greenhouse popping out to make a new structure, the back pop out is a bathroom that can be moved to the greenhouse side too when needed
